Well...yes and no about info getting out. When XP SP3 shows up on the update web site, if you click on the "more info" link it will take you to other links with more details. Also, I'm sure that if you go to microsoft.com and find SP3 there you'll find the same cautions and information. IMHO though, MS should have made the details about these considerations a little more plain to see by all.
